While I admit to preferring a church by Pugin, or other cases of "revival" architecture which borrow from the baroque, gothic or romanesque as it was traditionally expressed, there are various elements in each of these churches which, I believe, are quite successful, appealing and well suited to the ceremonial life of the Church.

In the popular imagination, such arches point upward to heaven, but in architectural terms their benefit was to carry weight downward -- and not outward, as do the round arches of a romanesque building.
